sas, I have not followed trading on level II for a long time but I do know that Bear Sterns has been one of the biggest manipulators in this stock since Q2 earnings came out last July. They shorted millions of shares in the 6's the day after earnings were announced. They sat on the ask all day that day.

<<bearsterns has one of the largest short holdings i did my homework have you...>> Saszu, You are missing my point. They are not short, they are hedged. Again, these guys are professionals. They know exactly what they are doing. You are drawing inferences from 10% of the information. As long as Vivus is bleeding red, stock price will suffer. Shorts or no shorts (or actually hedged or no hedge). Cash is king, Wall Street wants Vivus to "show me the money". This stock needs positive cash flow. C'est la vie.
